Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office: Dharma Productions' Rom-Com Off To A Poor Start

Mumbai, December 26 - Dharma Productions' romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, featuring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Pandey, had a poor opening day at the domestic box office, falling well short of a double-digit opening. Released on a national holiday of Christmas, TMMTMTTM collected 7-8 crores net on day 1. The real collection, however, is even lower, as there are allegations of feeding. Despite the external push, the movie failed to take a respectable opening. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) TMMTMTTM was always going to struggle due to the lack of buzz and the domination of Dhurandhar and Avatar 3, which are clearly the first two choices of moviegoers at the moment. The opening of Kartik Aaryan's starrer could have been slightly better had the word of mouth been positive, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It can be said that there is no way forward for the rom-com, as neither word of mouth seems to be proving, nor are the holdover films stopping anytime soon. The film was originally planned for a February 2026 release before the makers moved it up a couple of times; however, these plans often fail if the content is weak. Stay tuned...

Akshaye Khanna Exits Ajay Devgn-fronted Drishyam 3; Reason Revealed

Mumbai, December 26 - One of the hugely-awaited films of 2026, Drishyam 3 faced a major setback after Akshaye Khanna, who has been basking in the back-to-back successes, reportedly exited from the film, leaving the makers in a major dilemma to fill one of the major characters of the franchise. Earlier, it was reported that the creative differences between the actor and makers led the former to back out of the Ajay Devgn-led film. Now, according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the big remuneration demand turned out to be the main reason behind the actor's exit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There is no doubt that Akshaye is enjoying one of the best phases of his career after the big success of Chhaava and Dhurandhar, in which he received huge applause for playing the main antagonist roles. Because of the growing popularity, the actor reportedly demanded 21 crores in fees to feature in Drishyam 3, which took the makers aback. "Akshaye was menacing as the villain in Chhaava, while he stole the show, and how, in Dhurandhar. He has become the next big thing. Realising the same, he decided to revise his fees. Accordingly, he asked for Rs. 21 crores from the makers of Drishyam 3", said the report. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The makers reportedly tried to reason with him that if he's paid a bomb, the film would go over-budget. However, the actor was adamant in his demand as he believes that his presence adds major value to any film. Apart from the remuneration, the report also stated that Akshaye demanded to wear a wig in the film, which the makers rejected as he wasn't without a wig in Drishyam 2. Since the demands were made, Akshaye walked out of the suspense crime thriller film. The exit happened on a good note as the makers hope to collaborate with Akshaye in future when they'll be on the same page. Meanwhile, the shoot of Drishyam 3 has already commenced, and it will be hitting the big screens on October 2, 2026. Stay tuned...

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Ankit Sakhiya and produced by Ajay Padariya and Jay Vyas, the film stars Reeva Rachh, Shruhad Goswami and Karan Joshi in prominent roles. The film revolves around a rickshaw driver trapped in a Farmhouse confronts his past demons while experiencing visions of Lord Krishna, who guides him through a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Made on a budget of under 1 crore, Laalo has been a word of mouth phenomena. It started with a negligible collection of 2 lakh on opening day, but went into overdrive after the third week, after the makers expanded the release. In the first three weeks, it grossed just around 1.50 crores, but once it entered the fourth week, there was no looking back from there.

Shah Rukh Khan's Cameo In Rajinikanth-fronted Jailer 2 Confirmed? Here Is What We Know

Mumbai, December 25 — Speculation around superstar Shah Rukh Khan's possible involvement in Rajinikanth's much-awaited action drama Jailer 2 has taken the internet by storm. While the makers have been tight-lipped about the casting, veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty has reportedly spilt the beans on the same. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The latest wave of excitement around the much-talked-about cameo rumours was triggered after veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, who is said to be a part of Jailer 2, casually mentioned Shah Rukh Khan's name while talking about the film's ensemble cast in a recent interview with the Bengali media. Speaking to SITI Cinema, Mithun said in Bengali that Jailer 2 is one such story, with an ensemble of experienced stars joining the superstar. While mentioning the names, the veteran actor revealed that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh is also a part of the film, alongside Mohanlal, Ramya Krishnan, and Shivarajkumar. Mithun's inclusion of SRK immediately set social media abuzz, with many interpreting it as a confirmation of the Pathaan star's presence in the film. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) However, despite the strong buzz, there is no official confirmation from the makers of Jailer 2 as of now. Neither Sun Pictures nor director Nelson Dilipkumar has announced Shah Rukh Khan as part of the cast. Importantly, Mithun Chakraborty himself has not explicitly stated that SRK has signed the film or shot for it, leaving room for speculation that his comment may have been informal or misunderstood. If Shah Rukh Khan does come on board, it would mark a rare and massive crossover moment, uniting two of Indian cinema's biggest icons, Rajinikanth and SRK, on screen, even if only briefly. Given the success of Jailer (2023) and the sequel's ambitious scale, the makers may be keeping such surprises tightly under wraps. Jailer 2 is currently in production and is slated for a 2026 release. Stay tuned...

The Aditya Dhar directorial has become the first Indian film of 2025 to cross the 200 crore gross mark in overseas markets, underlining its massive international appeal. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film has been performing exceptionally well in key international territories such as North America, the UK, Australia, and parts of Europe. Its North America performance has been nothing short of exceptional, with already over $12 million.

With this feat, Dhurandhar has comfortably outperformed all other Indian releases of the year in overseas circuits, emerging as the undisputed leader of 2025 so far.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office (Advance Booking): Kartik Aaryan-starrer Heads For Single-Digit Opening

Mumbai, December 23 - Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday-fronted romantic comedy Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is heading towards a single-digit opening at the domestic box office, considering the current scenario of limited screen availability and restricted showcasing across major centres. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the film has been finding it difficult to carve out space amid the overwhelming box office dominance of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which continues to pull in strong footfalls, and James Cameron's Hollywood specatcle Avatar: Fire and Ash, which has occupied a significant chunk of premium screens nationwide. As a result of the box office dominance of the other two films, TMMTMTTM has been allotted fewer shows so far, especially in key urban centres. The advance booking for the movie opened recently, but the momentum has remained on the lower side. The film is clearly struggling to generate buzz, with multiplexes opting for other strong-performing titles over the romantic comedy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) TMMTMTTM being an urban-centric film, strong multiplex support was expected to drive its opening numbers. However, the lack of enough screens in premium properties has put the film in a tricky position ahead of its December 25 release. Even with the limited shows currently available, the pre-sales trend has been underwhelming, with overall advance collections struggling to touch the 1 crore mark. There is still a day left, and if it manages to get some more screens, which it should with credible stars featuring in it, then it can hope for a decent start. However, if things don't improve, TMMTMTTM is likely to open in the range of 5 crore net, which will be disappointing. Stay tuned...

It is said that the Gully Boy star has decided to back out of Don 3, and is now looking to fast-track his Zombie movie with director Jai Mehta. Since the actor already has Dhurandhar 2 scheduled for March 19, 2026, release, he asked Jai Mehta to prepone the shoot of the zombie thriller, reportedly titled Pralay.
